Description:
This tune is a "Dogri Folk" played in classical form... It starts with a low tempo but gradually gains the rhythm... The santoor is an Indian musical instrument which is trapezoid-shaped hammered dulcimer often made of walnut, with seventy strings. The special-shaped mallets are lightweight and are held between the index and middle fingers. A typical santoor has two sets of bridges, providing a range of three octaves. Learing tuning alone can take 6months of practice.

last year we had been for the Pune festival where Pt Shiv Kumar Sharma and pt hari prasad Chaurasia had both played. an amazing evening sadly we had to leave by midnight and could not stay for the jugal bandhi. We saw him at the Meridian that morning, he got out of his car just next to us I wished him with a namaste and he wished back.
